Proteases are universal in existence in all organisms and are needed for metabolic activities of the cell. Also, proteases are the paramount hydrolytic enzymes widely used in industrial sector accounting ~65% of the aggregate worldwide enzyme market. The market revenue of global protease sale is estimated to be $ 2.21 billion by 2021.Currently, a widening expectation of biotechnology sector necessitates the availability of robust protease with industrially suitable operative features. The commercially-compatible protease should show stability and altered specificity in organic solvents, and be economically as well as ecologically sustainable.The proteolytic halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms are a novel source of salt-stable proteases. Beside stable in the presence of significant amount of salt, the halo-proteases could occasionally display the polyextremophilic attributes like tolerance to alkaline pH, high temperature, and organic solvent tolerance etc.This review describes - halophilic/halotolerant proteolytic microorganisms as source of salt-stable protease, mechanisms of high salt tolerance, various physical and nutritional parameters affecting the protease production, purification strategies for protease, characteristics of salt-stable proteases, and commercial significance of salt-stable proteases. The study revises the current status of the research on salt-stable proteases obtained from extremophile with their operative utility in the biotechnology field.
